I coulda sworn I saw one somewhere but I can't seem to find it so I'm trying to design my own. Anyone have any ideas? I was going to try attaching a pulley to the 3 center bolt holes but I found out the hard way that the center bolt doesn't come out and is also connected to the hall sensor somehow. I was going to use the FFBeast system with the motor and electronics forwards of the pedals. Just looking for ideas now that I can't use the center bolt hole. Also if anyone is looking for transducer mounts for their pedals I made a model on printables.

Hi not sure if this would be the right place to ask this... It's been awhile since I've been doing DCS. I have a button box that has 2 Derek Spears 64 button boards in it. I can't figure out how to get DCS to rename them say, left and right to differentiate them in the controls menu. I tried adding FriendlyName in the registry but DCS doesn't seem to pick up on that. Is it only possible through the firmware of the device? Thanks for any help.

Hey all wondering if anyone has mounted bass shakers to their mfg crosswinds.. been looking everywhere but can't find anything. I guess I'll be designing my own.

I had that problem too

Thanks, I tried that. What the result was was that now in the controls page, all my devices show up, and the tab to select aircraft shows up, but there are no commands to bind. So the page is accessible now, but empty. Also after exiting it and going back the second time my screen went totally black with the music still playing. It didn't seem like the game hung... I dunno, this sucks. Maybe I should have mentioned that I'm using Steam version I dunno. EDIT: yes verifying the files worked but takes forever.

thanks, but maybe I should be more clear on the problem. When I go to the settings menus (push the gear icon) the controls page is just blank. blank. All the other tabs work such as the VR, Special, Graphics etc. Also, while on the blank controls page I'm unable to click cancel or OK or the X at the top right of the screen for awhile. Then eventually it will let me exit. I don't understand. Also, I just noticed that in DCS\savedgames\input some of the aircraft folders are (now?) different names? For instance, in my saved games\dcs\input I have an "F-16C_50" and "FA-18C_hornet" like I always remembered them being but in my DCS\mods\aircraft folder they are called "F-16C" and "FA-18C" Same with "A-10C II" and "A10C_2" Is that normal? I should also add that if I start a mission, not even my keyboard will work. Can't even press Escape. I'm not sure if this is something I mucked up myself or not because it was working just fine when it updated to 2.7.

Okay now this is just getting stupid... All the other options settings work fine except when I go to controls.. I'll add a screenshot but some support from the developers would be appreciated because I spent a lot of money on this... It never listed exceptional computer skill as a requirement for enjoying the product. Thanks in advance

HI. It's "possible" I may have done something unknowingly stupid in trying to fix this problem, but by my best recollection of the events, 2.7 installed, I tried it out, was super happy to see all my keybindings in place. Then last night, I started it again, was super sad to see that they were all gone. In 2.6 I learned to make a backup folder of all my keybindings in the "Input" folder in the SavedGames directory, which I update every time I make a change. Where is the folder I am supposed to copy and paste all my keybindings to located now? I'm getting confused with so many windows open... it used to be straightforward... The only thing I've been able to do to get things to work was to individually upload in the sim the profile for the exact device one by one. I don't want to go through setting all my keybinds again. That was a lot of time and was still a work in progress.

Hello. I'm not sure whereabouts to start asking questions so I thought I'd start here. I wanted to try the leap motion out, but I'm stuck at getting it to even work in steamVr, which is what I thought was going to be the easy part!? It works on it's own for the visualizer, Orion I think, on my Reverb. But as I understand it, I have to add the new github drivers to a leap folder in steamVR, and add lines to the steamvrsettings.cfg or something and that's where my question comes from. I've edited that file numerous times and steamVR seems to rewrite it every time it starts up again. I'm not a programmer and sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question.

Okay, sorry about that but the solution is to uninstall the module in steam, and restart and install it. It's still weird had me all freaked out, why just that one module? Anyways, Nevermind.

Hi not sure where to put this,. Recently I've noticed that the Blackshark isn't available in game. I'm not sure what I've changed. It still shows up in Steam as DLC. Just not available in game. No activation errors or anything like that. Thanks.

Thanks! As far as the Ka-50 goes, yes, it work work for either of those, but now I'm thinking DCS doesn't have that option... Only one key for gear up/down... And as for the A-10C II, your other bindings work perfect for the Hornet and Viper... The X-56 has a stupid thumb slider on it that works as an ON switch.. button 33... so adding a logic to dcs for ON unless OFF works great for the hornet and viper speedbrakes, even though I've learned that is not realistic.

Hey, thanks for making the A-10IIC work... Can I please ask for APU rumble in the hornet and Huey, and any other aircraft that has an APU please?

Simshaker for Aviators 2.2.1.0

I tried a google.... yes I know I have to kill it in the task manager... why???? And would I have been better off just buying the standalone? I've sunk a chunk of money into this. Would be nice if everything could be transferred....

I read in another post that the new A-10 II is working?? It's not working for me. I tried both Sound Module and Beta Sound Module. The original A-10 works. Sound Module 2.20.

HEY LECUVIER! OK, so how about a 3 position mapping for the F-16 Autopilot switches? BTW, the Hornet speedbrake line works in the F-16 as well. How about a Gear UP and Gear Down for the KA-50?... I thought I saw a project somewhere for toggle switches for the shark... Anyways thanks. And also a speedbrake for the A-10? Like on and off? for the stupid X-56 button #33? Thx.

Hey will these work with other aircraft? Or what would I need to change? Thanks LeCuvier!

I am having the same issue as malusku. All of a sudden. Only thing i did was move my computer. Running SSA with sound module on buttkickers through a 7.1 usb sound device. Used to start up no problem. Sound module will still start, but simshaker opens quick and disappears. And no rumble in DCS. I'm trying to think of what is different... Would MSFS 2020 interfere sonehow?

I've gotta chime in here. I bought 4 Derek spears boards and I'm using rotary encoders. They don't work right. Yes i ran the setup program. Derek spears tech support is virtually non existent, and he states so on his site. I figured i was missing something about rotary encoders and electronics that i didn't understand. Then I bought a couple of Leo Bodnar 64 boards, and they work PERFECTLY right away. The encoders do not tweak out or send opposite input at all. And they seem happy to answer any questions you might have, unlike Derek.

Hi I've got a question. I'm trying to figure out and play with different configurations of transducers and simshaker. I currently have VR, a usb soundcard and a 7.1 external soundcard, 2 Aura sound 50W shakers and 8 Dayton 16ohm mini pucks. So far I've been trying the 2 Auras on a left and right channel, and 4 of the minis on a mono channel and 4 minis on the straight DCS audio with the treble EQ'd out with Equalizer APO. I have simshaker set for 5.1 channels. What I'm wondering is if it's possible to tweak and mix the 6 different output channels in some way.. for instance, I'm not a fan of the positive G force vibrations, but I do like the negative G vibes, but I was wondering if there's some way to maybe isolate Positive G's to maybe only 2 minis up by my shoulders for instance. Or maybe just separate the positive G and negative G as to remove the positive G's altogether perhaps. I'm not sure this is even worth doing but I'm curious if it is possible to isolate the different outputs more. Any help is much apprecitated... Another thing, While on the ground noises such as the flap movements are very pronounced but in the air with the engine rumble I can barely notice them at all... Maybe that's the way it is in real life? I don't know. But it's what got me thinking about this in the first place. Thanks.

Can you give me a hint on how to start going about this? I asked the author awhile ago about it and he said maybe he'd implement it in the future.

Does Vaicom support hot mic yet? I bought it but haven't started using it because I've been using Voiceattack for all my aircraft function commands so far... Is there a way to get it to differentiate Vaicom commands via PTT from normal spoken (aircraft function) commands without having to use a PTT button?

It would just play output seemingly not related to events in dcs. Rebooting fixed it but it happened right after the update. All is well now.

Is it just me or did simshaker start acting up after the most recent dcs update?
